A few thoughts...

So I recently we t back to work after being a stay At home mom th last 4 years. My daughter is almost 6 and my son is almost 3, so I was ready and got a great opportunity I couldnt turn down. So it has been three months now, and the honeymoon period is over, and I am starting to wonder if I am alone.... 1. I really have no energy and need to socialize or make new friends, as I just want to do my job and go home to my kids. Not really into making new friends outside of work either, just like my good friends and family for my weekend socializing. Which was so not me prior to working, I was always meeting new people! 2. Starting to feel like Groundhog Day, how do you mix it Up! 3. I have been supr healthy and huge fitness guru, i still eat well, but I just can't workout more than 3x a week! 4. My husband is so helpful, but in the same sense he drives me crazy with lack of communication cause we never see each other.... 5. Is their ever a balance where I can feel like wow I got this?

Practice makes perfect. Or at least "normal."
If you have a choice financially, I think it is really important to figure out if you really want to work. I will have a choice next year and while I know it is a blessing to be in that situation, it's a really tough choice! But if you don't really want it, you'll never feel satisfied with the day to day.

Thanks ladies! It was nice to have some discussion in regard to this area, g,ad to know I am getting the hang of it. For those of you, who asked I wanted to go back to work, I worked hard to get a higher education, masters, and would like to have a career, as that is more fulfilling for me, I am just very thankful for the opportunity I had at home for the last 4 years. Now, yes it is the adjusting!
